Fatigue Help - Why do I feel so fatigued?

2011-09-10T03:21:00.000-07:00

Hey PEOPLE!

This article looks into why so many people around the world today are asking them selves, ‘Why do I feel so fatigued?’ If you would like answers to this question you are not alone, it seems that the world today is suffering from fatigue and exhaustion. For immediate help visit http://SurfTrainingSecrets.com and visit the performance and nutrition tab.

Find out why you feel so fatigued and follow three specific actions to help improve your energy and well being.

1 Why Do I Feel So Fatigued? Is it Exercise?

Doctors, therapists, personal trainers and friends often tell people that the answer to improving energy is to get more exercise. Exercise is often seen as the magic pill to overcome fatigue. This well-intentioned yet misunderstood advice often worsens the situation and leaves fatigued people frustrated and more tired than when they started.

Traditional exercise as practiced in the west often pushes and over loads physiological systems in the body. This increase in stress adds to an all ready stressed individual, and disrupts the hormonal and energy systems, leading to more fatigue. If you are fighting fatigue then be very careful of what forms of exercise you are performing.

The right form of exercise performed at the right intensity will help improve fatigue. In order to find out what level of exercise is correct for you work with someone who understands adrenal and hormone function so you can restore these pathways and your energy levels with the correct form of exercise.

2. Why Do I Feel So Fatigued? Is it Sleep?

We all know that sleep is apart of the natural ebb and flow of life yet we also love the ability to do what we want until the wee hours of the morning. Late night Internet chatting, twenty-four hour mobile phone contact and watching late night movies are all considered normal in this century.

These behaviors are not in synch with human physiology that has been around for millions of years. It is widely studied and understood that not getting enough sleep at the right times does not allow for physical, mental and emotional rejuvenation.

Anyone with fatigue help issues needs to note that sleeping early has a positive affect on energy levels, hormone production and both physical and psychological wellbeing.

3, Why Do I Feel So Fatigued? Is it Food?

There is a lot to be said about food and its affect on those who suffer from fatigue and low energy levels. Every human being is uniquely different and while one food may be uplifting and positive to one individual, the very same food may be depressing or negative on another. Food sensitivities, biochemical individuality, metabolic pathways used for energy in the body are all very heavily influenced by what foods you choose to eat and what you choose not to eat.

Food in this day and age is the cause of more problems and ill health than anything else. It is unfortunate that our food supply is full of chemicals and substances that are not designed to be inside the human body. If we couple this with poor food choices or not eating right for our individual metabolic needs then the energy pathways that create energy each day become compromised and fatigue results.

Food is a vitally important part of improving fighting fatigue, improving energy levels and restoring health. Find out what foods specially work for your unique biochemistry and you are well on your way to overcoming fatigue forever.

Living in the twentieth century we are often led to believe that being run down, tired or fatigued is normal. It is not normal. It is a sign that something is wrong inside your body. Unless you address the core issue it can be very difficult to restore energy, vitality and health.

Adrenal Burnout and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

2011-08-19T02:08:00.000-07:00

HI People!

Adrenal Burnout & Chronic Fatigue Syndrome seems to be taking over the world! Are you one of the millions of people who are overly tired or suffer from a myriad of 'unrelated' symptoms of poor health and low energy?

There are many people like the women in the video below struggling to find the hidden links to CFS and adrenal burnout and struggling with how to improve their life. The only real way to improve this or any health condition is get to the root cause of the stress and re-balance the systems in the body leading to all the seemingly unrelated symptoms. Good news - you can.

In this video you will hear a lot of symptoms - symptoms that all point to imbalance inside the body. Imbalance inside will lead to seemingly irrelevant symptoms like:

- low energy
- poor nerve function
- poor sleep quality
- depression
- adrenal burnout
- mood swings
- anxiety
- muscular weakness
- body weight issues
- alcohol intolerance
- food intolerance
- decreased libido
- poor mind function
- IBD
- etc, etc, etc,

This list is endless and seemingly irrelevant because every person will react in their own unique way. In order to find out WHY these symptoms occur the only way is to diagnostically test the hormonal pathways in your body and find the REASON why your body is not functioning correctly.

Once the reason WHY is understood then rebalancing the body becomes specific, scientific and realistic for you, your body and your unique requirements.

Please note that while traditional 'exercise' is definitely going to push adrenal burnout further in the wrong direction there are fantastic forms of movement to support rejuvenation and improve energy and detoxification. Please visit my website and contact me for answers.

The only way to 'get well' is know exactly what is happening inside the body to work with. If you have adrenal burnout then you will probably have serious issues with hormonal pathways and energy systems related to the thyroid gland, DHEA production, testosterone, estrogen, detoxification, immune function and more.

Choose to find the real hidden stress and what is going on inside your body with functional diagnostic testing and nutritional and lifestyle protocols that heal the body from the inside out. If there was one thing you would you like to improve in your body - what would that be?

Tired of Being Tired? It could be Adrenal Function

2011-08-12T08:22:00.000-07:00

HI FRIENDS!

It seems that more and more people are falling prey to 'exhaustion' and 'tiredness' with many people constantly reporting they are 'tired of being tired'.

Not having energy is a common problem these days as we are bombed by the media to 'get fit, stay in shape & look sexy with exercise' the only problem is that by exercising we ofter further exacerbate an all ready stressed out body.

Being tired of being tired is often associated with depression, anxiety, loss of libido, lack of energy, addictions, poor blood sugar control, diabetes, an inability to loose body fat, hot flashes etc, and can be the beginning stages of disease.

Important glands responsible in the body for helping regulate energy are the adrenals and these are often over stressed due to lifestyle and diet choices. They are also incredibly important because if they are over worked or stressed then nearly every other hormonal system in the body is also affected.

I myself have just had a baby boy in a new country where I do not speak the language and this was a stressful experience. I am still not getting ample sleep so I tested myself to find out how my adrenals were functioning - I can tell you - even as a healthy person, I needed to adjust my lifestyle and foods and work on specific steroidal hormonal systems in my body to help get my energy and life back.

The only way to find out what is causing hormonal imbalances, food intolerance, and low energy often associated with poor adrenal function is to test their function and then find hidden stressors and malfunctions of hormonal, immune, digestion and detoxification systems.

Remember, everything in the body is connected and if you are tired of being tired it maybe that your more stressed out than you realize and sleep alone cannot fix the underlying problems.

Contact me to get your body tested so you know exactly where you stand and what actions and supplementation may be the best for you, your body and your situation!

Enjoy and get remember TESTING IS BETTER THAN GUESSING

Have a great Month & Ask me to run some tests for you so you can fix once and for all being tired of being tired!

Adrenal Fatigue and Treatment

2011-07-25T04:25:00.000-07:00

Hey EVERYONE!

A lot of people have been asking me about adrenal fatigue, low libido, extra weight gains and many other symptoms associated with adrenal function, hormonal balance and digestion. There seems to be a lot of people wanting to deal with this common problem; so here we go. This will be the first post of many on this important subject.

The adrenal gland is compromised of two parts and when both parts are over worked lots of hormonal challenges can arise which often leads to adrenal fatigue and general low energy. This is due to adrenaline and cortisol constantly being pumped out into the body which over time leads to an energy crisis in the hormonal pathways in the body. Unfortunately many doctors tell patients they are 'fine' because they don't test adrenal function and this is a concern because if the adrenals are pushed due to:

* Forms of stress (Physical, Mental, Emotional, Spiritual)
* Lack of sleep
* Poor diet
* Over working lifestyle
* Physical aches and pains
* Inflammation from internal stress or exercise etc, etc, etc.

and then given medications for a generalized symptom this often leads to further stress and a further lack of energy. There are many people walking around with adrenal fatigue because doctors are not often trained to look into the hidden causes of stress or trained in studying clinical lab reports based on hormones and energy systems inside the body. A doctor can treat a disease but if a person has a bunch of symptoms and not a disease they often do not have the time to work on lifestyle factors that are driving fatigue and low energy.

Doctors in general specialize in treating disease with drugs, so think twice before getting drugs to treat low energy or fatigue. I would recommend getting some lab tests done and working with someone who is trained in analyzing hormonal pathways and hidden stress inside the body because I have found that adrenal fatigue is a common reason for low energy and general fatigue.

The first thing to consider is do you want to build your health and work on your health complaints. Building health and working on lifestyle factors that address hidden causes of fatigue and finding answers to getting ones health back is the only real way to heal adrenal fatigue and restore energy. This means working on key lifestyle factors to restore function and energy over time. Adrenal fatigue leads to many problems within the body and can manifest in an number of ways because the body is inter connected. If you think you are having an issue with energy production then start with getting a good nights sleep EVERY NIGHT and get in contact with me to get to the root cause of the issue. What would you like to know?

Have a great day!

Mind Body Healing Wellness

2011-06-04T12:04:00.000-07:00

HI People! Welcome to May & your topic - Mind Body Healing

My baby boy is home, happy and healthy! He is already developing beyond belief! It reminds me that as we grow we all gather mind body healing issues to deal with and overcome as we journey through life.

I have started a video series on you tube regarding this topic because I believe so many people out there today are running around in circles stressing them selves out (and others around them) while 'living' without really living! I Hope you enjoy this video. Please do leave your comments below.

By using the method in the video it is amazing how you can improve the vibrational frequencies for mind body healing. I am not suggesting this is the only technique to use, especially to overcome serious issues, however this technique can be used for your benefit as it starts to get back the control of the mind, fire you up and put the right film in the camera - so to speak.

To improve health, wellness, happiness and even your finances it begins with your attitude and outlook of your mind. Who ever you are and where ever you are - you are not alone! Your mind will always be with you. Mind body healing is a constant ongoing life long journey for all of us and the sooner you start the sooner your health, wellness and happiness 'show' up. So keep working on yourself.

For those of you who are interested in Mind Body Healing for athletes or love sports, health, fitness or surfing and snowboarding then check out more on my professional coaching site by Clicking Here.

I can't believe my son is now here in my arms and I have this wonderful being full of life who like you (and me) must also learn how to flow through life and deal with his own mind body healing that may arise.

Have a great day people
Enjoy May with much Mind Body Healing & Wellness!

Warrior Attitude

2011-05-02T02:26:00.000-07:00

HEY PEOPLE! Follow this Blog and Forward to Friends. THANKS HR

Hope you are happy, well and life is moving in the direction you wish to go. This Month I am expecting a baby boy and according to 'everyone' life is going to change! To which I reply, 'Well the only constant in life is change'.

In order to deal with constant changes it becomes easier when our attitudes are ready for anything. This is exactly like having a Warrior Attitude, so I remind you this May to switch that attitude ON.

* Find strength inside yourself to take the necessary steps to and go where you've chosen to go.

* Take on your fears, that is how you learn, grow and gain confidence.

* Balance Mind Body and Spirit by choosing the (often) harder &/or more difficult option that is better for long term results than taking the easy option that only covers the short term.

* Have hope and faith in yourself and be true to your own heart.

* Find power working with others to reach your goal and overcome obstacles.

* Take what ever actions are required to get the job done including not being afraid to ask for help.

The wisdom of creating a positive warrior attitude comes from generations gone by that realized by accepting and facing uncertainty life will work itself out and take us where we need to go.

I guess right now I am meant to be a father! How about you? Where is life taking you? Please leave your comments below.

Perfect Health

2011-04-11T01:50:00.000-07:00

Is there such a thing as Perfect Health? A place where the mind, body and spirit are harmoniously balanced? Ancient physicians believed so and created systems to realign both psyche and physiology. In today's 'wise and modern' world we have forgotten that health is a collection of everything in our world, and should not be based on what other people are doing or saying.

As individuals we each have a unique internal compass based on an inner driving force set by nature and intertwined into every fiber of our being. This internal compass cannot be altered, and constantly gives us ques on how to stay balanced for healthy, wealthy and wise lifestyles. When we follow others or do what everyone else is doing, this creates internal chaos and that distracts both our psyche and our physiology from our pre-programed internal compass.

On the other hand, when we listen to our inner driving force and respond to the symptoms our bodies give us we have much more control over our well-being and take a step closer to perfect health. By giving specific nutrition to your physiological and mental requirements and working in a job that matches your unique compass, your life becomes easier and perfect health is just around the corner.

So how do we do that?

1. Start listening to your body and understanding what is good for you and what is not.

i.e. Some people love hot spicy food, while others know it makes them feel hot, flustered & shitty (excuse the pun). This is a simple message from your body informing you what is good / not good for you. Listen to your body!

2. Start being in tune with what drives you.

i.e Do you enjoy loud, outgoing, fast paced work environments or are you naturally drawn to slower, creative, quite places. If you are in the 2nd group yet work in the stock exchange on the floor, chances are you will be sick, tired, anxious and run down because that is not the correct place for you to be.

3. What are your natural traits?

i.e. Are you fast, quick witted, impatient and orderly?
i.e. Are you steady, easygoing, relaxed?
i.e. Are you unpredictable, changeable, excited and anxious?
Most people have one dominant character that keeps shining through - this is your internal compass driving you. Knowing what traits are dominant allow you to work with someone who knows what foods or activities are best suited for your specific requirements to bring you back towards perfect health. It is very wise to listen to your body for an optimal healthy lifestyle.

Listen to your body this April.

To Healthy, Wealthy, & Wise Living!

Life Attitude - Play to Win

2011-04-03T07:24:00.000-07:00

HI PEOPLE!

As we journey through life many 'problems' appear along the way that can frustrate and slow us down;

* Obstacles,

* Challenges,

* Heartache

* Stress

* Etc

These 'problems' often create fears which limit us to moving outside our 'comfort boxes/zones.' It is only by facing our fears that we can move into a new realm of reality and expand new and positive possibilities into our life. In actual fact life challenges can force us to grow immensely when we have the right attitude.

The only thing stopping anyone achieve more in life is losing the mind games we all play in our heads, and that means fear has won. Giving in to fear and adopting a constant 'play safe' or 'play not to lose' attitude can keep you exactly where you are and stop you from ever moving above your fears. Playing safe means not doing anything to push yourself and that limits how much you can become during this lifetime.

Playing to win however, means taking actions to confront your fears, overcoming fear and winning the mind game in your head. Playing to win means moving towards fears and working with them until you realize that the initial fear was only a thought held in your head.

Each day ask yourself how much I can achieve today? Then set your mind to face your fears and play a bigger game. Live with a warrior's attitude this April & Play to Win!

With Health & Energy

FAST FAT LOSS FUNDAMENTALS

2011-03-12T01:52:00.000-08:00

HEY YOU! HI & Welcome

MARCH has shocked the entire Pacific Rim, and as we wait for Mother Nature to settle down may I remind you to keep close to the people you love and re-watch the last video. We are all with You.

In times of any stressful event, Being Well will aid with stress coping and give you energy to continue each day. One way to help is to remember your New Year Resolutions..... remember those?! Renew a goal and keep yourself motivated and moving towards ongoing well being.

The Top 5 New Year Resolutions according to collected statistics are:
* To Get Fitter
* Lose Body Weight / Fat
* Spend More Time with Friends and Family
* Eat healthier
* Earn More

Your lucky, it just so happens I can help you with every point. The one that keeps popping up however and surrounds a lot of mystery, myth and changing science is Fat Loss. So here are some fundamentals to keep you on track, to help cope with stress, keep you calmer and help lose unwanted fat.

* How you think about this topic is crucial. The goal is to lose body fat, not weight.
* Daily movement is as important as daily water intake. (Movement does not mean "exercise")

* Hydration is the number one reason people find it hard to shed fat. WATER is the only fluid the body requires to function. Without water we die. Hydrate. A lot.

* Fat Loss is not about 'fitness' and getting fitter, that is a part of a much bigger picture.

* Fat Loss is more about everyday lifestyle choices relating to food and stress than exercise and diets.

* Fat Loss is a Lifestyle. Fat loss cannot be a fad. Diets or short term eating plans usually lead to further fat gains.
Getting Stronger is Key. Not bigger. Stronger.
* Malnutrition is the 2nd reason people cannot lose fat. Without nutrients we also die. Restricted calorie diets disrupt hormonal and physiological systems. Eating is an Art - this is apart of your big picture.

* 20th C Addictions & Intolerances are very real, they have a huge impact on fat loss. Work with a nutrition expert.
* How you look and feel is reflected directly by liquids and solids you put in the tank. What you put in is what you put in. Everything has a knock-on affect.

* Fat Loss can be fun, functional and delicious - Calorie Counting is not fun, nor functional - this means - will not last. We are designed to listen to our body not measure portions or count forms of energy.
* Whats happening inside your body is vital to fat loss success - how your body processes food & creates energy, your digestion, nutrient assimilation, food break down, eliminating waste all affects fat loss.

* Incorrect Movement / Exercise is very very very common and need not be! It is NOT about exercise time. Intensity with variety is what counts (work with a pro for fast results)
* Failing to Plan = Planning to Fail - Fat Loss requires an eating plan and an abundance available foods.

So with that I am off to buy a whole bunch of delicious foods to have in the house - and you can too!
Be Lean and Wise this March!
Namaste

Our World is Shakin!

2011-03-05T00:42:00.000-08:00

HELLO MARCH!

HELLO YOU:)

LIFE sometimes has a way of SHOCKING us back to our foundations. Earthquakes, Cyclones, Fires, Accidents. Although disastrous, these events can help bring us back to who we really are. MOTHER NATURE often reminds us to focus on the important aspects of living - each other.

LIFE at other times places us in challenging situations stemming from our OWN actions. These can be equally scary and also aid to awaken us. I remember crashing badly in Japan, ending up in hospital and being forced to slow down and remember what is truly important in life.

Here are some ACTIONS to help you easily tune in with yourself so you can then more profoundly connect with people around you.

FAST & EASY ACTIONS TO TUNE IN

* Walking Meditation - take a quiet stroll each day, let your thoughts dissipate.

* Driving / Public Transport - Breathe deeply & hold your breath at any red light - Focus on expansion

* Before eating, relax your shoulders, sit tall, take one large breath and just give Thanks for your food.

* Daily Movement – your made to move - Stretch, Walk, Yoga, Tai Chi, Bike Ride,

* Do something to connect with your breathe and body while calming your MIND, it could be as simple as when you brush your teeth!

MINDFUL ACTIONS IMPROVE

* Love of Self and who YOU ARE, creating inner wealth & happiness

* Faith in your own spirit to follow your own creative path.
* A higher likelihood of earning income in a profession you enjoy.

* Increased quality time spent with people you enjoy.

* Laughter, a relaxed approach to life which may help create community spirit that we all long for.

We so often focus on, Money, Career, Bills, Parties, & External Assets which can take us away from Family, Friends and even Ourselves. So this Month spend time quietly with your self, who you are, what it is you are here to help the world with, what is inside of you that you know you could be doing?

If you are uncertain, that is 100% normal. Uncertainty is apart of the life process. Do a basic risk assessment, take some calculated risks & go for it, before Mother Nature shakes you up again.

With Health, Balance & Mother Nature this March

Baby Steps, Big Results

2011-01-29T00:30:00.000-08:00

HEY YOU!
HI!
2011 is well under way and as our baby boy is coming into the world this year I thought it appropriate to think in Baby Steps! You were once a baby correct? That meant at one point in time you could not crawl, walk, or even wipe your own arse! Yet over time baby steps began and..... well... by now I hope... they have taken you to great places...

Life is amazing really for what ever baby steps you begin with and if you continue to take them, you may surprise yourself as to where you end up. Baby Steps - it doesn't matter if it is a weight loss goal, a desire to improve one's financial status, or the need to surf more waves, if you are serious about your desires, stick to your guns and mirror your intentions with simple consistent baby steps you can (over time) achieve great results.

Now of course it depends on what baby steps you are taking, if you go in one direction yet really wish to go another, well that is not going to work. Be Realistic. You have to Choose. Are you going to stand, wobble, fall and stand again, or remain crawling forever? You have options. What is the best option? Choose the best choice for you.

Jim Rohn reminds us that, 'In order to change you have to change'. This sometimes means making the correct yet difficult choice, doing what is hard rather than doing what is easy, this may certainly be the case for me this year, as a baby, 'changes everything' I am told.

Change means to learn, to be open, to grow. As babies we did that every waking minute, accepting and developing on the go. As adults we often forge ahead with fixed habits, fearful that taking a new direction may be overly daunting, forgetting that all great goals once began with baby steps. All our lives are filled with achievements to prove it, did you not master walking, speaking, reading, writing, running, swimming, mathematics, Manic Club Dancing and even wiping your arse? :) They were all once a challenge and they all started with unknown baby steps.

Happy and successful people are a lot like babies & young children, they are open to explore, keen to meet new people, try to speak new words and encorporate a lot of play into their lives, so I remind you, no matter what, enjoy your baby steps throughout 2011!

PS, we are taking names for our Baby Boy due in May, mail or comment with your favourites!

With Health, Zest & Baby Steps this Jan!

I WANT HAPPY CHEMICALS IN MY LIFE!

2010-12-15T00:48:00.000-08:00

HI PEOPLE!

WANT TO BE HAPPIER?

Read on, because chemicals inside your body dictate how easy (or difficult) it can be, to be happy!

Blair Singer, recently reminded me that our Environment is Stronger than WILL. This is crucial because that means, even with the best of intentions and a powerful WILL, your environment WINS, every time.

If the environment in which you work, play or live does not support you, then unfortunately the environment will dominate your life!

As far as happiness goes, your environment (the stronger part) is your body. What goes on inside your body, influences your outer life dramatically. Your internal Biochemistry, which controls,

* hormones,

* how you feel,

* your physiology,

* fat loss,

* moods etc, has much more influence on the outcome than your will power!

Have you ever tried to force yourself to be positive or happy? Hard isn’t it? If ‘happy chemicals’ are not present it makes sense that being happy may be difficult, YES? It makes even more sense when ‘happy chemicals’ cannot be produced due to a poor internal environment struggling with inadequate nutrients required by the body to make happy chemicals!

I think you would agree it is very hard to be happy when the environment cannot produce the ‘happy chemicals’ required to be happy! To top that off, the very food you eat may be bringing you down! How can one be happy if chemicals inside are pulling you down?

Your body has everything inside to create and sustain a beautiful and happy life. Naturally produced chemicals have kept us alive, safe, and happy for millions of years. If you are filling yourself with plastic, artificial, man made foods or looking for ‘modern quick fix medicine’ it is likely your creating chemical imbalances in your internal environment so ‘happy chemicals’ cannot be created.

For the most part we all need to consume more oils, organic proteins and fewer carbohydrates to start being happy from the inside. Re read last Months blog on cleaning out your internal gut environment to help balancing biochemistry and help live a happier life.

REMEMBER - Will power cannot over come your internal environment!

Please contact me if you wish for more happiness in your life!

Enjoy December & Christmas

With Natural Happy Chemicals!

“I want a Flat Stomach” Syndrome...

2010-11-27T02:59:00.000-08:00

HI PEOPLE! Many clients wonder why they can not achieve a flat stomach, especially when they,

* Eat ‘well’ and supplement ‘carefully’

* Avoid fattening foods

* Exercise regularly

* And/or participate in core training & abdominal exercises.

The organs of digestion are located right where most of us, ‘want a flat stomach’. Here in lies the issue – until the internal organs are functioning properly there will be no flat stomach. The abdominal wall is sensitive and if there is inflammation in that area, (which is highly likely in today's environment) it is likely the abdominal muscles will not respond to exercise!

A lot of people have inflammation & damage within the small intestine, gut or bowel. This stresses the immune system and creates more inflammation. Common symptoms may include,

· Headaches

· Neck, Shoulder and or low back pain

· Gas

· Bloating & or Burping

· Not going to the bathroom #2! I.e.To POO! Regularly.

· Fatigue after meals

· Constant Hunger

· Muscle and Joint Aches

Once these have been addressed FIRST it is THEN likely a naturally flat stomach will occur! However, anti inflammation drugs often mask problems by ‘fixing’ the pain. This is a problem because the inflammation often gets worse and internal organs break down.

You see in today’s environment we become toxic, dehydrated and often constipated. The over loaded chemical imbalance in the inflamed gut and digestive tract cannot absorb, digest and eliminate as they were designed. Here are some guidelines so that you will obtain both energy & a flat stomach!

· Hydrate with Quality Water!

· Consume natural foods – slowly!

· Eat Fats, Proteins & Complex Carbohydrates!

· Drink before you eat not when you eat!

· Rotate the foods you eat!

· Eliminate De-hydrated foods & Alcohol!

· Eliminate foods you may think you are sensitive to

· Eliminate ‘fast’ & man made ‘foods’

· Work with an expert on Parasites and Fungi!

· Work with an expert to individualize specific foods that will aid your unique recovery!

Instead of trying to lose fat to ‘get healthy’ try being healthy! Being Healthy leads to a flat stomach & less body fat!

With Health, Energy & Great Digestion!

WARRIOR 1 YOU ARE NOT ALONE!

2010-11-14T01:06:00.000-08:00

HI EVERYONE!

Is it true we are born alone and die alone? I think not. This world, our universe, LIFE; is more diverse, creative and intelligent than we can even begin to comprehend – let alone ‘know’. We are born into an interconnected world of systems and ecosystems and to separate them would be catastrophic. Our world is a living organism that relies on systems working synergistically in order for optimal function. Human Beings also rely on synergy. At a physiological level we have systems within systems that rely on each other to create and sustain energy, vitality & LIFE, and at a human level without love, support, bonding and human interaction we cannot reach our potential.

Unfortunately Western culture has taught us from a young that we should become, ‘independent’ and society in general reinforces this belief. However our culture and society misconstrues what ‘independent’ truly means. Young children and adults think they must rely only on themselves, avoid asking for help, and do everything on their own. In the long run this attitude keeps people in boxes and slows down the growth and evolution of our species.

Being independent does not mean having to do everything on one’s own! I believe we need more role models who are, ‘independently dependent’; that means they are strong, know who they are and where they are going yet are apart of a net work of people, a community, and understand the value of all human beings while working with integrity for the good of all.

We are all connected as human beings, regardless of race, creed, color or religion. Humanity thrives in small communities with strong bonds, co-existing relationships, and people working together to help one another enjoy LIFE - At a deep level this is how we desire to be.

Remember when you think you are alone to ask for help and get support. Be independent enough to work with the millions of people dependent on human interaction who are ready to help and work with you. Have faith in yourself and in others, build trust in yourself and in others, and go forth Independently Dependent!

Roll with the Waves of Life, Surf with Acceptance

2010-10-07T01:51:00.000-07:00

So another tour is over & I find myself with much-needed downtime to rejuvenate with foundational principles of health and performance (next blog) & see what doors will open up the next chapter of my life. It is times like this when I am not exactly sure what the future may hold when I remind myself to Roll with the Waves of Life. Sometimes life is messy, full of rip currents pulling us into dangerous territory, other times it is clean, perfect and meant to be. Either way, we cannot control the ocean, we can only accept what it delivers and roll with it.

As with the ocean, the only constant in life is change. All of us experience times when life’s uncertainties seem to overwhelm us and we don’t know what is going to happen. Many bury themselves in worry, anxiety and mindless negative chatter, states born out of fear. This creates a negative vibration within, a nervous disposition and a depletion of life energy. I have found that precisely the opposite is how we as humans are supposed to act. It is at these times of uncertainty, the not knowing, looking at fear in the face, that one has to dig deep, accept uncertainty and roll with it. Realizing life is not supposed to be certain, allows fear to subside and opportunities to arise. In fact, uncertainty brings creativity, wonder, new experiences, growth and adventure.

Think what you have over come in the past, remember something that once seemed so frustrating and worrying, yet looking back now you realise you got over it, you made it, here you are today and everything is ok. Having the ability to Control what you can control, and accept what you have no control over is one of the basic foundations for performing at higher levels & living a happy, peaceful life. Find strength to accept the current situation, decide how to make the best out of it, create a clear action plan and take a baby step. One foot in front of the other, one step at a time and continue to move forwards.

Rolling with the Waves of Life and Surfing with Acceptance is not always easy, yet it is a hell of a lot better than living in a world of fear, anxiety, depression, anger and worry. Steve Black reminds us that when you are authentic and put effort into the things you enjoy doing and live the way you truly wish to live, you naturally draw yourself to where you need to be. Be the authentic you, (not your Mum, your Dad, your best friend or your teacher) be honest with yourself and you will attract like-minded people who will guide and support you. He also reminds us that vibrational frequencies emitted from our Minds resonate and attract people towards each other for mutual gain. So focus on your thinking because thinking dictates your actions and actions lead you where you need to go.

Accept the current situation for what it is, remain calm and in the present, not in your head or in the future. Relax, be your-self, visualize and let life create life. I try to remind myself to ‘Think Again’ when that little voice starts looking negatively at the world. ‘Think Again’ ‘Flick the Switch’ and the ‘little world box’ we all live in often becomes bigger and brighter. (Reread July's blog; Thinking Becomes You)

So as I ponder what lies ahead after such a long tour on the road I know I need to just be me. I need to get back in tune with who I am and what I love to do, so am off to the beach, going to visit my family, board in the mountains, meditate & breathe easy, accepting and surfing the waves that come my way, holding in my mind that the future can only get better. It will.

One step at a time people, one step at a time.

Enjoy October’s Waves!

SURFERS SHOULDERS & COMPLETE BALANCE

2010-09-08T23:35:00.000-07:00

HEY ALL! This Month enjoy a video from my You Tube Channel; 'HRWellness'. A lot of people struggle with neck and shoulder pain, this video is a basic start to improving ones condition. There are many more facets to think about in order to function as a complete performer so this video acts as a guideline only for those with Shoulder Pain relating to overuse as a surfer.

Please work with your Doctor or Therapist before undertaking any exercise or rehabilitation program. All exercises are performed at your own risk. Here are some additional pointers to consider.

A) If you have shoulder issues, work with a specialist who practices what s/he preaches - There are a lot of people 'fixing injuries', yet are out of shape and in pain themselves. If they have never put their mind & bodies under the stress of athletic endeavors they have no real idea about human performance. Only work with a therapist or coach who truly understands the demands of your sport.

B) I mention Posture as being extremely important - it is - for everyone, regardless of who you are. If your body is out of synch, - function is impaired. Working on posture will also aid in flexibility and strength - vital elements I discussed in last Months blog for long term performance & well being.

C) Avoid over doing anything. Repetitive strains occur by pressuring the body to perform consistently over long periods, especially if there is pain or an existing condition. Rest is vital for healing and creating a complete plan for over all performance & wellness.

D) If your physically tried and or emotionally drained take some time out. Burn out often begins in the body as small aches and pains (cracks) with mental fatigue or congestion. Small injuries of mind or body can lead to the demise of long term performance - chill out, avoid too much surf/snow/exercise, eat & rest well. Only do the 10 Mins 4 X Week (in the video) along with some very gentle movements to improve the mental and physical aspects of your life until your energy is restored and you have passion for what you are doing in life. (Participate in the Therapeutic Stress Reduction Program at HRWellness on You Tube) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9jwFhppaRjk&playnext=1&videos=gUtrwfWoBGg&feature=mfu_in_order

E) Youngsters should enjoy many sports and engage in many activities to fully develop their muscular skeletal system in balance and to challenge sequencing & neuromuscular co-ordination and fine motor skills. Try not to focus exclusively on one sport or push young children into competitive situations too early, this can often lead to early burn out, frustration, injury and fear based performance. Let children have fun! BTW We should all be having FUN in our chosen health & wellness programs, find something you enjoy and do it!

Look After Your Body & your MIND will love you!

With Health, Wealth & Energy

STRONG & FLEXIBLE; MIND & BODY

2010-08-26T04:24:00.000-07:00

HI FRIENDS! This Month we look at two compatible components of Mind and Body required for longterm optimal performance. (Strength & Flexibility) It does not matter who you are or what area you perform in, (Business, Arts, Professional, Amateur, Student, etc.) improving physical strength and personal flexibility will aid in improving mental strength and flexibility and visa versa. Research suggests that our entire physiological systems are linked, so physically strong and flexible people seem better able to reflect those aspects mentally.

If your an athlete, a CEO, a weekend warrior, a parent, singer, dancer, or young professional etc, these two elements are vital for long term success. MICHAEL JORDAN stressed the importance of flexibility of body and mind, believing stretching helped tremendously with injury prevention, on court performance, and his long career, while thousands of therapists & athletes around the world validate the importance of strength & stretching to enhance recovery and performance.

I believe optimal personal flexibility training offers; Improved Posture & Chi Flow, Increased Blood Circulation, Energy & Warmth, Improved ROM at Joints, better Preparation for Increased Load Demand, Prevention of Strains, Tears, etc. and also plays a crucial role in developing flexibility of Mind which helps balance the mental aspect of living and dealing with daily stresses that challenge us. If optimal flexibility aids flexiblity of thought, that means we can become stronger people with improved coping mechanisms through increased flexibility.

The same can be said for Optimal Personal Strength Training which can immediately make you feel great physically and mentally. This is one of the best forms of Medicine. While physical training targets the muscular skeletal system, physiological improvements also arise in relation to the circulatory system, connective tissue, neurological co-ordination, balance, posture, organ function and much more. Strong muscles reflect the entire being, and the net result is, that the stronger we become physically the stronger our self esteem, self worth, confidence and enhanced capabilities to perform and meet the demands of life.

As far as coaches, leaders and employers are concerned these are two highly desired positive attributes. These characteristics allow one to deal with life with less illnesses, injuries and depression while being more goal orientated, having better mental focus, and improved abilities to self motivate and challenge oneself. The fact is that a Strong and Flexible Mind combined with a Strong and Flexible Body is a formidable positive formula playing an integral role in injury prevention, long term performance and coping with stress & challenges that will inevidibly be thrown in the life game.

A lot of people are striving to improve their lifestyle, physique, mental outlook and daily performance yet forget that Injuries of both Mind and Body will arise throughout life and prevention is always better than cure. A good foundation for anyone in all walks of life is to develop personal strength and flexibility.

Remember: Performing in any discipline requires physical and mental elements of Strength & Flexibility. Top level performers know that discipline is required to create good habits and good habits performed regularly can lead to great results.

(N.B - All Strength & Flexibility programs should be individualized, performed correctly and monitored for correct individual intensity for desired results to occur)

With Health & Happiness +
Strong & Flexible, Minds & Bodies :)

Balancing Rock Stars....

2010-07-08T00:18:00.000-07:00

Balancing the Yin and Yang of Life helps keep your MIND in Check... This Month I have been asked to write about Thoughts, Life and your MIND.... sorry this is a bit late this Month.

THINKING BECOMES YOU

So…. Spain had a goal to win the World Cup and take it home for the first time in History. ‘Impossible’ everyone said - They did it! Nelson Mandela had a goal in1995 to win the Rugby World Cup & change systematic belief structures and install new thoughts of unification throughout South Africa. ‘Impossible’ everyone said - He did it! Our thoughts, goals & personal intentions are extremely powerful and are the heart of all positive growth.

Just as Spain won the world cup and Nelson Mandela unified a once divided nation, you can also achieve great goals when you choose to have control over your mind. I remind you to re-read the Jan Blog entitled, ‘The Importance of Goals’ to help you stay focused on your 2010 path towards improved health, wealth & happiness.

Prominent thoughts are very powerful and determine the quality of your life, which is why it is so important to take note of the mental chatter and reflect upon how those thoughts got there in the first place. Thoughts coming into your mind should have no power, yet many people ‘lose their minds’ because they believe thoughts and act impulsively rather than observe thoughts and take control of their own mind. Does your mind serve you or are you serving your mind?

Most sponsoring thoughts we carry with us are developed from our childhood influences. Behaviors, feelings and beliefs often stem from years of copying others and may prevent you from becoming the happy, healthy, person you can be. Your childhood role models - were they balanced, happy, healthy, wealthy, dependable, trusted? What did you hear, see, believe & accept as a child. Was smoking, drinking, believing certain doctrines, eating (CRAP) Chemicals Refined Artificial Processed foods normal and accepted for you? What did people say to you that are still built into your subconscious mind that may need changing to move you forward to the next step of your life?

Habitual dominant thoughts become you and only though reflection can you start to change and control them. In this way new thoughts can be projected into the world rather than an automatic response that may have slowly become a negative habit over the years. With effort, you can decide what thoughts to listen to and what to throw away.

To grow positively your inner thoughts or inner world must reflect with true belief what you wish for in your ‘real’ or outer world. Thoughts are steeped into your nervous system and are vitally important to both observe and control. Observe when negative talk or emotions arise and catch those thoughts before they influence you. When negative self-talk arises, change your thoughts not only for your self but for others also. By focusing on helping others and not your-self, fear will subside and a natural state of confidence and enthusiasm will arise.

T Harv Ecker teaches that by focusing only on yourself, your goals, your life, and your thoughts, FEAR will take over and you will feel like CRAP. However, when you focus on others your heart takes over and more positive emotions are realized. Harv also teaches that Thoughts lead to your Feelings, which lead to your Actions, which lead to your Results.

So if your results right now are not what you wish for, then start with your thinking. Paul Chek refers to STINKING THINKING as the first and vital area to begin with in order to install positive growth and change any area of your life. Before reacting to others, hit the TIME OUT button.

(Note; Consuming CRAP foods has a direct correlation to how you think and feel, if you are eating CRAP foods it is much harder to think un-crap thoughts! J)

Your MIND can be your best friend, working with you to control the choices made every single moment to create your reality in all walks of life. When ever I personally catch myself not thinking they way I wish to think I imagine a big switch inside my brain and I, ‘Flick The Switch’ to gain control over my thoughts and my mind again. Sometimes I may have to do this hundreds of times a day! Yet every time I do this I remind myself, ‘My dominant thoughts will become me’.

Like Spain this year, and Nelson Mandela in 1995, create who you wish to become and make it true with the power of your mind. Appreciate what you have & work with it. It is better than having the mind control you!

Enjoy the rest of 2010!

NAMASTE, Health, Wealth & Happiness.

SUPPLEMENTS: What are YOU missing?

2010-06-07T03:03:00.000-07:00

My brother Matt & his wife Shelly just supplemented their life load with a new baby boy! Congratulations & Welcome baby Austyn to this wonderful, mysterious world!

‘Supplements’ is a HUGE topic and this Month I open a small window into a complex area that the pharmaceutical industry is trying to obtain and control….

Over the years massive amounts of scientific evidence has mounted for both the Pro’s and Con’s of supplement use. Like any good debate, esteemed professionals in the scientific, medical, & healthcare community are equally balanced on both sides. The following is my opinion on this diverse subject and I urge you to work with a specialist on personal individual needs, as these points are general observations.

FIRSTLY – What does Supplement mean?

Wikipedia; ‘something added, especially to make up for a deficiency’ In other words, ‘to assist, to work along side’. I must stress that the base of who you are should be derived from REAL WHOLE ORGANIC foods. Good food must be the base of your diet. Your first health goal should be to work with someone who can establish what foods work for your constitution, your biochemistry & your mind and body before considering diet supplementation.

SECONDLY – What kind of Supplements?

Choose 100% Natural Products over Synthetic substances than can create havoc within the mind - body. The following is a basic list of a few food based supplements items that may be recommended from a professional. Psyllium Husk, Flaxseed, Spirulina, Cod Liver Oil, Tumeric, Ginger, Digestive Enzymes, Probiotics (millions of viable organisms) MSM, Ghee, Ginger, Vitamin Complexes etc. - the list is endless and demonstrates that FOOD should be the base of your Medicine / Supplementation.

THIRD - Why Supplement?

It is unfortunate our Earth’s ecosystem which human beings rely on and many cultures, ‘Give Thanks For’, is slowly and surely being destroyed. Our Earths soil is depleted of nutrients, is heavily contaminated, and we breathe, consume, and bathe with constant pollution. It is estimated in another 30 Years we will not have enough soil to feed the worlds population and more than 99% of pure water sources will be contaminated. There is more pollution and environmental stresses to combat than ever before which questions if we can we get all our macronutrients, micronutrients, digestive enzymes, co-factors, antioxidants, etc from the foods we choose to consume.

FOURTH – Drugs Vs Supplementation

As the pharmaceutical industry tries taking over the world with pills claiming to answer all chronic issues & killing thousands with their ‘MEDS’ in the process, should we not look at alternatives? Alternatives that may provide the same relief with drastically reduced risks? Mother Nature provided us with tools in the forms of herbs, roots, plants, fruits and vegetables that Pharmaceutical companies are trying to mimic, control, regulate and profit from. If we can profit from natural organic supplements with less negative side affects than medications, I think this is worth delving into.

FIFTH –- Reality Costs

In an ideal world we would all have access to natural organic products, produced on certified organic land and they would be readily available and cost effective. Due to the strangle hold on world markets, farmers and conventional methods of distribution and shopping, this rarely happens. We often cannot get organic food required by the body in a cost effective manner - the reality is that many people are out of balance and can use natural organic food based supplements to help restore harmony.

LASTLY!

Life is for living, remember not to be so serious about this and remember all those who cannot even afford minimal food or water. We are in a position of luck to have the option of choice. To even consider supplements to help with our quest for balance, energy, wisdom and long-term vitality is a blessing.

ENJOY JUNE!

SaVe & Protect our Children!

SaVe our Children from TV from Hayden Rhodes on Vimeo.

While in Costa Rica I observed how active people were yet also noticed how addictive and mind-numbing people became when they were absorbed in front of a screen. I decided to discuss this in my Blog because I see in both developed and developing nations an increasingly disturbing acceptance of TV culture at a very young age.

Children, Teenagers and Adults are all watching too much TV. This has long been suspected of detrimental affects on human health and now conclusive evidence is mounting that TV is not a, ‘stress release’ but in many cases, adds stress, bombs the nervous system, affects the brain, and can have detrimental long term health affects on those who watch too much TV.

Many people have not yet learnt to enjoy quiet time and so constantly use noise to distract themselves from themselves. They have not yet learnt to control their mind so instead allow someone / anyone / anything to further brainwash MIND in the form of back ground noise from live internet streaming, non stop television, i-pod mania and radio. These are not ‘bad’ things, but in excess coupled with living in a non stop world of noise and commercials is not what your mind and body were developed for, especially young children who's systems are only developing. I urge you all to develop the habit of getting some self quiet time each day to help balance physical, mental, emotional and spiritual aspects of living.

This Month I have posted 2 fantastic videos for you to watch, enjoy and learn from. Both look into health around our globe and the general state of our Mother Earth! Both videos will open your eyes into how we can help to create a more sustainable and balanced environment for all people and all cultures around the world. HOME has all ready been viewed by over 6 Million viewers and is beautifully shot, you will love this documentary and Raj Patel continues to inspire and educate people around the world with relevant information today about the state of world food, social development, equality and world health.

Please take the time to view both of these wonderful links and have a fantastic MAY!
